The Daleks are a species of sapients from the Doctor Who universe.
Attributes
Daleks are small, genetically engineered, octopus-like creatures known for piloting pepper-pot-shaped personal vehicles and screaming "exterminate" at practically any other living thing they encounter. Individual Daleks possess genius-level intellects and rampant xenophobia.
For the most part, Daleks dwell within their individual vehicles. These vehicles carry sufficient armor to easily resist twentieth century small arms, with later models also outfitted with shield systems. They also carry an energy weapon and a plunger-like appendage for manipulation. Early models of these flat-bottomed machines ran on wheels or tracks concealed beneath the "skirt", but more recent models use a form of antigravity system to hover a few centimeters, although they can elevate themselves higher to deal with more problematic terrain such as stairs.
History
Daleks are native to the planet Skaro, where they were developed by a scientist/inventor named Davros to fight in an ongoing war.

Organization
The leader of the Dalek Empire was the Dalek Emperor.
Dalek society is highly militaristic at every level and a key aspect to most Dalek behavior is a perception of complete and utter superiority to all other forms of life. Genetically engineered to be xenophobes, the ultimate aim of the Daleks is to wipe out all other forms of life in existence, and they will stop at nothing to achieve this goal. Never the less, Daleks are capable of making use of Non Daleks to meet their goals, including making temporary arangements to garner assistance and making use of inslaved creatures, all of which get exterminated when they outlive their usefullness.
Threat Assessment
The Daleks are a direct threat any other civilization that they encounter. In addition to their individual armaments, they have fleets of heavily armed warships and technology that allows them to travel through time.
